Another one I remember when I took a few sommelier classes was “sabrage”, the act of opening a bottle with a sabre. Very dramatic!
Was reminded when it was used on Doctor Who the other night - petrichor, the smell that’s in the air just after it starts raining. I mean, who says that? But it’s definitely something that needs a word.
Because of Siam Sam, I now know what a “passel” is.
A personal favourite - I’ve used this frequently in official e-mails at work.
Another favourite. I was first exposed to this many years ago when someone used it as their contribution to our Dictionary game, and then had it turn up twice within the week in two different books I was reading. It turns up periodically every couple of years in things I’m reading, but I never seem to have a chance to use it myself. 
My work here is done. 
Yeah, you bastard, you could have explained in your post instead of making me research. I thought you had made a typo.
What, you thought maybe I had a “basket” of cousins?
I was thinking more “parcel” or “couple” though I have no idea how I connected passel with couple.
They’re only a parcel when I chop them up and mail them cross-country.
I am partial to “blatherskite”-it is not a commonly used word.
I also like “scoundrel” nad “plugugly”.
Aubergine sounds much yummier than the word you have to use if you want people to know what you are talking about (in the US anyway. I actually learned aubergine from an Australian lady)
People often get embarrassed when I warn them that their proposed action is likely to exacerbate the problem.
I am rather fond of avuncular meself.
I just had an occasion to use this in another thread, and I was reminded how much I like the term.
Fluffer.
antidisestablishmentarianismist
Wow, love this. I also want to find a way to use the synonyms from Wikipedia: quiddity and hypokeimenon.
My favorite word: widdershins.
Supercilious - As in “You’re a supercilious prick.”
Love.
A well-earned lambasting is always a neat thing.
For some reason when I hear or read this word, I imagine the fluffer using a feather duster to do her work on the eh, underside of the package of the fluffee.
If she were dressed as a maid I guess in that instance she’d be a French tickler instead.
Hmmm. Is this the same “fluffer” that is a term used in the porn industry? The “technician” on a movie set whose job it is to ensure the male star has a proper erection for when the camera starts rolling.
